Copy of Raynquist's Fall belt balancer collection, organized into nested blueprint books by number of input belts. Balancers are included for all configurations from to , plus some x, x, , , , and Also includes lane balancers for 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 lanes. Includes inline variants of lane balancers for 2 and 4 belts, lane balancers duplicated in separate lane balancer book as well as integrated into individual input belt books. Book is configured for blue belt but most smaller balancers can be downgraded to yellow or red belt without issue. Replacement larger yellow belt versions are included in a dedicated book for those where available.

Factorio balancer

In other languages:. Ideally, a balancer should be input and output balanced. Belt balancers utilize the mechanic that splitters output items in a ratio onto both their output belts. That means that a splitter can be used to put an equal amount of items on two belts. Since the process can be repeated infinitely, balancers with 2 n output belts are easy to create. Balancers also use the mechanic that splitters take an equal amount of items from both input belts. That means that a splitter connected to two input belts will evenly distribute those items onto the the two output belts. To balance belts it has to be made sure that the output belts contain an equal number of items from each input belt. Balancers that are throughput limited may not be able to provide maximum output if one or more outputs are blocked. To be throughput un limited , a balancer must fulfil the following conditions:. Balancers often do not fulfill the second condition because of internal bottlenecks. The bottleneck in this balancer is that the two middle belts only get input from one splitter. So, if only one side of that splitter gets input, as can be seen in the gif, it can only output one belt even though the side of the splitter is fed by a splitters which gets two full belts of input.

A few balancers had underground lengths shortened and extra regular belts added to make them compatible with lower tier belts compared to Raynquist's designs.

I did give myself a small mini factory with some essentials before I started expanding, but I'm really enjoying this challenge run even though it's been a WIP for over 3 months now as I've been chipping away. Belt Balancers - how they work and how to make them Don't know how to use a machine? Basically, my lines are a mess which is why I'm not even bothering to post a screenshot, and I'm all for remaking all my 48 output lines or I can make it a slightly different number if that's easier , but how would you go about balancing something on this scale? As always, this community rocks with the quick and helpful responses! I actually am currently using a derivation of that where I have splitters in a diagnoal pattern to keep shoving ore down the line if one line goes full, but its far from balanced I just did it to get a bit further in progression lol. Global Achievements. Enable the feedback loop only when that number is more than 18 i. The most obvious failure is in the balancer: this model says you need 4 splitters to do the trick, while the usual blueprint people use has 6 splitters. Post by jcranmer » Wed May 08, am.

A throughput limited universal balancer may only have the capacity for a few unused outputs. Would love to hear if others disagree. Showing 1 - 11 of 11 comments. Tags Belt: Balancer. In other languages:. This is the case because they use more splitters than the minimum required amount of splitters for a throughput unlimited balancer. Other times, this is not an option. Oh my piccolo. I have roughly 12 trains randomly picking stops at my station to feed my 48 mining stations. Balancers that are throughput limited may not be able to provide maximum output if one or more outputs are blocked. I've been slowly chipping away at my first rail and megabase world and I'm getting to the point where I need to efficiently grow my copper and iron stations.
